Camera purge

If there were any title more appropriate, I’d go with it, but this is really just a bunch of pics that have accumulated…and if they help give you ideas on healthy FODMAPS options, great.  If not, sorry for this post’s random nature.   Two recent recipes inspired this meal: Jenna’s veggie fried rice and Evan’s fried quinoa.  I make quinoa in bulk at the beginning of every week.  Without fail.  Some weeks I make two batches because I go through it so quickly.  I use my rice cooker, so it’s a completely mindless activity…as second… Read more >

Shifty

I have been completely lagging in showing off my work eats.  Packing up my food for the hospital is an art form, but it’s one I’ve perfected.  Blogging about them, however, takes more time and I’m always exhausted when I get home from 12+ hours on my feet.  And of course, there was the unexpected drive down to Newport Beach this weekend…so I’m definitely behind.  Not to throw excuses at you, I’m just saying, I have weeks of hospital food stored up.  How excited are you!?  Ha! Here what’s to follow: on-the-go meals that are… Read more >

Operation Elimination

Prepping for the “elimination phase” of the FODMAPS diet was a bit daunting at first.  I found myself looking up individual foods constantly to see what their chemical structure was (and if they contained FODMAPS).  But once I started to get the hang of it, I came up with lots of meal ideas. My meals will continue to be plant-based, but I want to try and make this as helpful as possible for all my fellow IBSers, so please note, the starred (*) items are for those who aren’t vegan.

Thoughts on the elimination phase

Being vegan and monitoring fodmaps is a bit tricky.  Without animal meat (or the galactans category, aka beans/legumes), there isn’t much left to provide adequate protein…or so I thought. Here’s the loop-hole: Seitan. “But that’s made with vital wheat gluten!?!” you say.  “You can’t have wheat because it has FODMAPS!” First of all, well done, you’ve been paying attention.  It’s true that wheat is a no-no due to the fructans in it.  However, seitan is made with the gluten in wheat, and is exclusively protein. See the label? No sugar.  No fiber. There are no FODMAPS… Read more >

Don’t hold a candle

Where did I leave off…oh right, lunch at Caravan of Dreams.  We took our time strolling around the East Village before we found our way back uptown.  We took Rusty for one last walk before leaving to check into our hotel.  Jess arrived home right as we got back, so we got to hang out a bit while we packed up.  Schlepping our bags on the subway was as fun as you’d expect.  And since it was 9/11 we were being watched hard core.  But eventually we got to The Roosevelt.   We were originally… Read more >
